Athena Swan and EqualityAthena Swan and Equality

The School of Environmental Sciences obtained a Bronze Award as part of the ECU Athena SWAN Charter, in April 2014.

The ECU Athena SWAN Charter was instituted to encourage and recognise commitment and effort to advancing the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) employment in higher education and research. It has recently been expanded to address diversity and gender equality more broadly (for more information, see the Athena Swan Charter http://www.ecu.ac.uk/equality-charters/athena-swan/).
